New to the forum and will have my PlusNet activated next week. My question is, can I keep my current router (in the title) connected instead of using the 582n PlusNet have sent? From looking at the guides they look very similar to set up.

If it's a unlocked one, and there's not many about, then yes.
If it's for a fibre connection let me know and I should be able to supply the telnet commands to configure it.
It's a better router than the TG582n, wish mine wasn't locked to O2

If it's not locked to O2 then you should be able to run through the Technicolor Setup using the 'Other' option.
Although this router doesn't differ too much from our own, it's unlikely that our Support Team would be able to help you with the set up I'm afraid.

Try what Chris suggests and as a test try entering a ppp username and password.
If it accepts them then it's not locked.
You never said if it's for ADSL or Fibre.
